For example, UnitedHealth buried in its financials that it hit its numbers by exiting equity positions.

It then _didn’t_ include a similar transaction (losing $7bn by exiting Brazil).

This was stuck in footnotes that many people who follow the company didn’t pick up.

how would someone using an LLM to explore the reports find such a thing

[Uehreka]

This is why it’s important to follow the studies comparing LLMs’ performance in “needle-in-a-haystack” style tasks. They tend to be pretty good at finding the one thing wrong in a large corpus of text, though it depends on the LLM, the flavor (Sonnet, Opus, 8B, 27B, etc) and the size of the corpus, and there are occasional performance cliffs.
